Muhtasari	The Xerostomia Inventory (XI) is an 11-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure subjective perception of dry mouth (xerostomia). Developed by Thomson and colleagues in 1999, it has become the standard validated instrument for assessing dry mouth severity in clinical practice and research. The XI captures both the frequency and severity of oral dryness symptoms and their impact on daily functioning, distinguishing symptomatic xerostomia from objective salivary gland dysfunction.	The Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) is an 8-item interview-administered instrument measuring the functional and social impact of oral conditions on everyday activities. Developed by Adulyanon and Sheiham in 1997, it captures how oral problems (pain, difficulty eating, appearance concerns) disrupt routine daily performances such as eating, speaking, cleaning teeth, sleeping, smiling, and work concentration. The OIDP is particularly valuable in developing countries and resource-limited settings where functional impairment is the primary concern.
